"Faced with theinability to sign agreements enabling Air France to implement productivity measures leading to a return to profitability. sustainable profitabilitythe directors consider it essential to set up a alternative plan. They have unanimously mandated the management of Air France-KLM and Air France to do so", explains the press release published on Thursday.
The plan includes fall in activity Air France in 2016 and again in 2017, which will involve a reduction in the workforce. In response to this decision, the various unions have launched a call for strike action from 5 October - date on which the plan in question will be presented to the Air France Central Works Council - but according to Alexandre de Juniac, CEO of Air France-KLM, it will not cause "too much disruption".
